Calling and Mission
Tim took the traditional path of acquiring a classic ministry-education by graduating from Baylor University, and attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, but his heart was not in it.
Still feeling a call to ministry, Tim used drugs and alcohol to unsuccessfully quieten his calling. Humbled, Tim discovered his desperate need for God. As a result, Tim not only grew in knowing Jesus, but also grew a deep desire to make Him known.
Then, Tim studied sanctification at the L’Abri Fellowship in Switzerland for one year. Returning to Texas, he completed a Discipleship Training School and a School of Evangelism through Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Following his call, he then served with YWAM in Amsterdam, Holland for three years.
“Speaking their language”
Tim longed to see a ministry that would reach young people and could effectively speak their “cultural language.” So in 1992 while in Amsterdam, he founded his evangelistic rock band “The Friendlys” – which later evolved into a TV show.
